Customer Reviews

If you live in, or will be visiting, the Pacific NW- this book is a must!

If you're going on a hike or camping trip this summer- bring this book with you and you'll see the wild around you in a whole new way! I bought this book for a college biology class, but have used it far more for hiking and camping around Oregon and Washington. The book reads like a friendly conversation with a fun uncle who spends all his time in the woods and wilds. It's like having your own David Attenborough along. The beautiful color photos are a plus, too!

Plants and Animals of the Pacific Northwest by E.N. Kozloff

This is the best PNW plant and animal identification book on the market (and I have lot of such i.d. books). Lots of really good color pictures and detailed b/w's. Informative text on life history/cycles. Good index and well-organized. Great for helping children get going on school projects (the Latin names are there, but the text is plain English, flows well, and provides information that interests ordinary persons of all ages who enjoy the out-of-doors). Would make a nice gift for someone new to the area or otherwise interested in the topic.

What a beautiful book!

I fell in love with wild plants at the tender age of 11 when I went to camp with my 5th grade class. We did plant identification and I became intrigued by all the wonderful plants in the NW. WHen I got home I poured through my mom's copy of this book. I had been seeing it on our coffee table since I was like a tot! I fell in love with plants. This book has beautiful color pics of all kinds of wonderful plants and animals. It's awesome!
